Quiz: Shakespeare’s Words

We could hardly let a little thing like the Shakespeare quadricentennial pass us by, now could we? So besides an entire day of Shakespearean facts over on its way on the @HaggardHawks Twitter feed, in honour of the great man himself here’s a mighty tricky quiz... 12 Shakespearean quotes, each one with a missing word. In each case, the word that’s missing is one Shakespeare invented. How many of the 12 quotes can you complete by picking the correct word? Or, to put it another way, can you pick the 12 everyday words we owe to Shakespeare and his work?

Let us know how you get on over on Twitter or in the comments below—and good luck!
